Hopp Schwiiz! Resilient Switzerland

The 20-minute short film "Wehrhafte Schweiz" from the early 1960s impressively shows how Switzerland would have dealt with unwanted intruders. Here, the battle of the combined forces in all situations is depicted. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences also liked this film very much and nominated it for an Oscar in the Best Short Film category in 1965. So: Go Switzerland! PS: Things really kick off around the 5:20 mark.
